The Mouthy Merc,Level 4 (Storyline Mission)

Space type: Deadspace
Damage dealt: Heavy Explosive / kinetic and thermal
Web/Scramble: None (needs Verification)
Recommended damage dealing: Explosive for the Republic Fleet ships /(Kinetic for the Mercenary)

Initial warp in to within 30 km of an Acceleration Gate, no NPC's; use gate to enter Pocket 1.
Pocket 1
Initially there are
5x Container('Amarr Battleship Wreckage') - Each contains one 'Metal Scraps' and tractor beams do not work on them
as well as
Group 1 (Aggro)
4x Frigates
3x Battleships
Group 2
Triggered by destruction of the last ship of Group 14x Battlecruisers
4x Battleships
Destruction of Group 2 triggers the appearance of a 6th Container, this one called also 'Amarr Battleship Wreckage', but with a different type 'Amarrian Battleship Wreck'. Either use the type or just ignore the other containers to find that 6th container which holds the gate key (an 'Acceleration Gate Authentication Matrix') needed to get to Pocket 2.
Pocket 2
Group 1
3x Frigates
3x Battleships
Group 2

3x Battleships

3x Battleships
Group 4
Triggered by shooting any of the battleships of Group 3The Mercenary (a Mordus Mammoth battleship) - In contrast to other spawns agresses drones
Killing the Mercenary completes the mission.
Blitz
Room 1 can not be blitzed as the container with the key is triggered by the last ship's destruction.
Room 2 can hardly be blitzed as you have to remove two spawns to be able to trigger the mission objective.
See my comments for further info (below).
